Soufeel - My first ever Charm Bracelet

12:00 AM Accessories , Fashion Bitz 0 Comments
Dia daoibh!

Today I'm here to share with you, my first ever charm bracelet! I know, I know, where have I been!  Charm bracelets have made a huge comeback in recent years.  To me, the most appealing part about them are the personalisation.  Each person's charm bracelet is unique and special to them which makes it such an ideal gift to someone special in your life.

Stellar Soirée

5:22 PM Beauty Bitz , Fashion Fitz 4 Comments
Hi Ladies.

I just picked up this months STELLAR MAGAZINE. I have to say I haven't bought it all that much and I've no idea why because it's a great little magazine. I LOVE the fact that it's Irish (I always try support Irish things like this if I can). I love that you can see what clothes, shoes, jewellery, hair products, make up etc. are available around the country and also what I love is that they list the prices. I'm so so used to seeing £ signs all over the place so it's refreshing to see the € symbols!! Also it's only €2.30! Anyway!!.....
I was flicking through and on page 24 came across something nice. Unfortunately (and as per usual) this is an event in Dublin, so if you're from the Dublin area and are interested in a fashion/beauty event keep reading! It really saddens me that more a less everything takes place in Dublin, what about the rest of the country?!!! :( Boo. This is just a personal thing, I'm just jealous so I'll shh! Moving on!

Stellar are inviting their readers to call into River Island on Grafton Street for their "exclusive soirée". They have printed a special invite on the opposite page which you fill out and hand in to gain access to the event. There will be 20% off all purchases on the night, on the spot prizes, free pampering sessions - such as getting your hair and nails tended to by hairstylists from Style Club and nail experts from Sally Hansen. The Stellar Team will be there on the evening and there'll be plenty of Stellars fav fruity bubbly EVE flowing and lots of mingling, as the magazine photographer will also be there (be nice and perhaps you might even make it into next months issue!!) 

If you decide to go please let me know. I'd love to know know how it goes - super jealous!! The event is over 18s and is taking place on Wednesday 22nd June from 5:30pm-9pm. Don't forget your invite!!



Slán!

Hey everyone, so today is Easter Monday. I could not post yesterday as my blog was still "in transition" over to FitznBitz.com instead of with blogspot.com. I'll do a quick post on what I wore yesterday. I had dinner and plenty of chocolate, wine and fun with my family for the day.

 PERFUME
Really loving this at the moment, but I know for a fact wouldn't be to everyones taste. It's from Avon and it's called 'Laugh Often' by Reese Witherspoon. It's described as "a joyful fragrance with bright citrus and playful florals". Quite unusual and not particularly overly feminine - which I like! It's on sale for €15.50 at the moment :)

Hope you had a lovely day too :)

Irish Girls/You Tubers/Bloggers Meet Up

12:55 AM Beauty Bitz , Fashion Fitz 14 Comments
Hello All!
OK so this post is a bit overdue - 12 days to be exact. A few of us gals (Bloggers and Vloggers) organised to all meet up in Dublin on Sunday 6th March. I have to say it was a success. We all threw around dates about a month beforehand so that the date would suit everybody - Julie must have been tormented with emails as she seemed to be the go-to-girl for the dates! Anyhow, between us all (us all meaning Aoife     Julie     Kate     Katie     Louise     Sandra     Sarah) we sorted it out. I was happy to have a few weeks to plan and save as I happened to be broke at the time we were arranging it and I had to make sure someone was around to have my small man while I was away for the day! So I booked a train ticket and off I went. 

Along the way I had a train meet up with Katie and we clicked straight away - which I was so happy about. It could have been quite daunting getting on a train to sit beside someone I had never met in person before, but from the minute we sat down beside each other we had something to talk about. Fair enough a lot of it was about You Tube and Blogging but to be honest it was completely refreshing to be able to speak to someone who has the same love for it that I do. We should have taken a picture of ourselves on the train but obvs we were too busy chatting!! :) 

We reached Dublin and waited for Sarah. She seemed to know her way about a bit more than the two of us eejets who didn't know WHERE we were going!! So we walked out of Heuston Station and got our Luas tickets - which also proved to confuse me, but anyhows!! We waited....and waited...... next thing BAM.....an announcement came over the microphone that there had been unforeseen circumstances and that the service had to be cancelled for the rest of the day. TYP....ical. I actually said out loud "knowing our luck someones after being shot or something!"..... As it happened, the next day we found out that two fellas had indeed been shot at the Smithfield Horse Market which was just 2.5kms away from where we were. All very dramatic but anyway we didn't know all of this at the time, so we happily hopped on the majorly overcrowded double decker bus until Sarah told us to hop off!!

We walked to the Spire where we had all arranged to meet up. We were checking our messages and tweets on the way and we were getting more and more excited the nearer we got! It was a bit surreal seeing everyone in person after watching them for so long on You Tube and reading their blogs. We all greeted each other and glanced each other up and down (in a nice way!) First stop we made was to Forever 21. Now this place is huge!! 3 floors of clothes, shoes, accessories, jewellery etc. It was actually hard to shop in there as it was so massive. Throughout the day we walked along and took turns without realizing to talk to each other. Calling into Brown Thomas was a lovely experience for me as I usually go there on my own at home and it was exciting to hear all the girls sharing their experiences and advice on various products.

For lunch we stopped off at The Calzone Cafe under the recommendation of Julie. Again this was a lovely part of the day as we got to sit down with each-other and have some proper chats one on one! The food, might I add was an-mhaith!! Delish actually!! We snapped some pics there (well the girls did, I hadn't a camera at the time so I've robbed these photos off Julie, Louise and Kate!)

After our lunch we wandered and chatted some more around Dublin City. Being in Dublin itself was so exciting for me as I had only been there a couple of times. Aoife found this quite hilarious that I was in such awe of the place!! I probably did have a bit of a touristy head up on me but I was really happy to be there with the girls. We have all gotten very friendly in the months that we have known each other and it was  great to experience their physical company rather than their cyber company!!

Right that was it...... the legs were walked off us, so we decided that a trip to Starbucks was necessary! It was Louise's first time in the coffee shop and she was so excited looking at the menu and all the cakes and goodies at the counter. "Oh my god Laura what do I get!!?" She ended up getting a hot chocolate with cream which looked delish. I got a...... something something mocha something grande..... GORG! We took some more photos here!

Again we had some more chats and gossip. At this stage I think we were all feeling it. We had been walking and shopping all day so it was nice to sit down for the last hour.



(How class is it that coincidentally me and Aoife both wore black leather jackets, black pants and black and white horizontally striped tops.... we both had our hair down and both had brown handbags..... not to mention out matching Chanel bags from BT!!!)

I have to say I really had a fab day. It was a pleasure to meet all these girls and they all deserve good things for their You Tube and Blogs. Please check them all out and let them know if you like their work! Until we meet again ladies!.......
